the Company's Board of Directors since March, 1989.
Dan Rasdal, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of

for eleven years. Annual sales have grown from $33
million to over $100 million, and include more than $60
million in sales from Telecom Solutions which Paul helped
create and develop."
Mr. Rasdal added that, "while Paul will be missed, he has
been instrumental in developing the next level of
management, some of whom will assume Paul's
responsibilities upon his retirement." Mr. Rasdal said,
"SymmetriCom will seek a new director to replace Mr.
Risinger, but will eliminate the position of Vice
Chairman."
